Urban Meyer cuts Frankie Hammond, Jr., but will give him another chance

Wide receiver Frankie Hammond, Jr., is no longer a Gator, but coach Urban Meyer said he does have the opportunity to come back.
Meyer said Hammond, who was arrested for DUI last month, is no longer on scholarship. Despite losing his roster spot, he will get an opportunity to work his way back onto the team.

“If he tries to come back and play, which I understand he will, he’ll have to pay his own way and earn a spot,” Meyer said. “There will be playing time taken away from him. He’ll be on probation like other players that have made mistakes. If he does something again, it will be probable dismissal.”

Meyer said Hammond, a sophomore, currently is training apart from the team.

After red-shirting his first season, Hammond caught four passes for 57 yards and a touchdown last season.
